Here's a late addition: Some of my air-tools I've had since '71, I got my impact gun in '76 its one of the first Japanese made CPs , and all I ever done was make sure there was some kind of oil squirted in before I used them. 3-N-1 oil, WD-40, 5-30 synthetic, Royal Purple Maxfilm, Marvel oil, (one of my all time favorite oils). Yeah, I know I'm probably wrong, but they still work, so I guess I'm not too far off. I think the key is to keep them oiled with any light vis oil, and not run 'em dry... That's my crummy tech tip for the day.
